Description
In this classic 1950s sci-fi movie, a spacecraft lands in Washington D.C. and an alien emerges, with a menacing robot whose destructive powers defy imagination. Rebuffed in his efforts to warn the Earth’s leaders of its impending doom the alien, Klaatu, takes to the streets. His plea for peace is embraced by a pretty young woman and an eminent scientist, but the rest of humanity reacts with mistrust, fear and violence. With time running out, Klaatu is forced to demonstrate his awesome powers, teaching all of mankind a lesson for the ages.
